Is it too early to put myself on q for dark gym?
I think you mean steel-gym (dark quals have already started). If that is the case, I would be fine with it (I intend to go for steel-gym, too, btw).

also whoever removed zekrom's challenge to me needs to stop removing shit i.e. challenges to me because i explicitly stated to him on irc that he had a few months to prove himself because of the queue and if he was not ready by the time he was up i would have said no
Ugh fuck it, it's going to take approximately forever for one of Rediamond's slots to open. Dropping my challenge for Rediamond.
Frosty, let's do this. You took the Gym I wanted so now I'm going to take your badge! (And by that I mean lose horribly because ugh Triples and ugh poorly-trained Pokemon, but whatever!)

Arena: Lost Woods
Following the instructions of the Gym League people, you rent a Gogoat, mount it and enter a strange forest.
"Search for the Sound of Music", the instructions said.
"Brandon walked in the Lost Woods and started searching for some music"
Still, you heard that the Fire Gym was an easy target, so you move on. Somewhere in the trail, you feel...weird, as if you were not there anymore...or as if "there" wasn't there anymore.
"Brandon started feeling sick. Maybe that donut wasn't a good idea"
You speak loudly to yourself before dismissing the feeling entirely.
You and your rented Gogoat continue to move forward, following the trail. You can find footprints of many species...and yet you don't recognize any of them. Also, the woods seem to...shine? Despite being really late, there are enough sources of light around, allowing you to see your way quite clearly.
"Brandon is amazed at how many fireflies are here."
You think. Well, aren't you naive?
After a good hour, the trail divides into two. Before falling to despair, you manage to hear a faint sound. A song of sorts. Well...strap me a bow and call me Snubbull, music in the woods. You decide to follow it and in no time you find...
GAAAAHHH!!!
You yell, after seeing the such an odd kid. Needless to say, your Gogoat fled before you could say "what the fuck".
"Heheh, Are you looking for someone, big guy?" - The kid asks.
"Brandon walked into the forest looking for the Fire Gym Leader,"
"I don't know any 'Fire Gym Leader', Tee Hee Heee! But if you want some fire, there is this guy here who has been wandering around for quite some time. He was with a strange Fox with Nine Tails and a Flaming big Pig. Maybe he is the one you are looking for? If so just follow the music." - The kid says.
After thanking the kid you follow the music, running as fast as you can for some time when suddenly...
THUD
"Ouch! That hurts! You should pay attention!"
"Brandon felt sorry about that"
"...do you speak about yourself in third person?"
"No, I just like to narrate things..."
"...of course."
"Well, I got to go. Looking for the Fire Gym Leader."
"Then look no more! I am Frosty, Fire Gym Leader, owner of the Bonfire Badge, at your service"
"Marvelous! Where is the gym?"
"Well...here is the thing. I heard that there is some kind of abandoned temple here from where this music is supposed to come, so I thought I might as well open my gym there, since I like music and why not? But I can't seem to find it haha. So we will battle here! Just don't disturb the fairies and spirits of the woods and you will be fine trust me you won't want to disturb them. Also...erm...can we battle while running? I don't think staying put here is the best idea *gulp*"
You take a good while to check your surroundings and you notice the following aspects of the Woods:
- There is a water pond, grass source, some rocks and you can see the sky. And the sun is starting to raise and shine amid the treetops. Every move can be used here, with the sole exception of Fissure, as that will probably disturb the woods, and that would be bad. Also, you don't think you will manage to summon Hail or Sandstorm without the respective stones;
- Dense Woods means that spread moves (Surf, Hyper Voice, Lava Plume, Heat Wave, Blizzard, Rock Slide etc etc etc) won't....spread that easily. Also, the sturdy roots weaken the power of EQ, Bulldoze and Magnitude. Spread moves will have the damage dealt multiplied by 0.5 instead of just the bap by 0.75 when used in doubles+;
- No move or ability or item, with the sole exception of Fake Out, can Flinch. All pokemons are already scared enough at the Woods, they won't pay attention at trickery for the most part.
- You are in the middle of a forest, so Grassy Terrain is always up, stacking with other "terrains".
- The battle occurs in movement, as both you and the dumb gym leader are trying to escape the dangerous woods. Because of that, hazards (Sticky Web, Stealth Rock, Spikes and Toxic Spikes) have no effect and moves such as Reflect, Light Screen, Safeguard, Magic Room, Trick Room, Sunny Day, Rain Dance, Hail, Sandstorm, Water sport, Mud sport have their duration lowered by 1 round/3 actions as they won't be able to keep up with you for that long.
- Fairies are everywhere and can be summoned at will by any pokemon for assistance. Every pokemon can use the move "dazzling gleam".
- Finally, the free spirits like being...well...free, and won't let any one take that from them. Because of that the ability "Air Lock" is negated by the wicked magic that is around. Be happy that you didn't turn into a pig.
"You are quite the observer, haha. It seems that you are ready, so let's begin this. En Garde!"
Summary
- All moves, except for Fissure, can be used. Hail and Sand can't be summoned without the respective stones.
- Instead of using the 0.75 BAP multiplier, the entire damage dealt by a spread move is multiplied by 0.5. So the formula is: ((BAP [Ignore standard spread modifier] *Screens + stuff - stuff)*Weakness/Resistance+Stat Stage Differences+Type-Specific-Item)*0.5 = Damage
- No flinches (except for fake out)
- Hazards are useless and other field effects's duration is lowered by 1 round/3 actions
- Grassy Terrain is always up, stacking with others if needs be
- Every pokemon can use Dazzling Gleam.
- Air Lock has no effect.

On a related note, should I be voicing my interest in being Steel leader now/here?

If you would like to start Steel Gym qualifiers now, go ahead. However, steel gym qualifiers don't have to start until the end of the month, unless someone wants to start them early.
On an unrelated note, I get to jump ahead one spot in the queue against waterwarrior. Yay.

deadfox081 has defeated Birkal and claimed the Fighting badge! (At least I think it's the Fighting Badge, I don't know if Birkal has a unique name for it or not. Texas Cloverleaf I propose we put Badge names in the OP along with arenas, since at least a few of the Gym Leaders have badges with custom names)
Eh. I mean it's an aesthetic thing really. If someone wants to go find out the special names a gym leader uses and edit it in, or to volunteer their own name than sure. But as a volunteer thing since they are fundamentally the badge of their type.
I know they're slated to start in September, I just didn't know if I needed to state my intent ahead of time, although I guess I have done that at this point.

Pwnemon got seismic badge vs IAR
also I will edit my accepting above later (after I finish reffing and figuring the flavor). Assuming no post is done here on the meanwhile.

"Oh boy another water challenger. Seems like people want to drown my gym these days... But we will battle rain or shine. Anyhow I guess it is time for you to grid up and wait for the lights to go out... Just do not take forever to do so."

Arena: Lost Woods
Following the instructions of the Gym League people, you USE YOUR OWN Gogoat, Capricorn, mount it and enter a strange forest.
"Search for the Sound of Music", the instructions said.
"I hope I don't have to dance with someone. I wouldn't like that."
Still, you heard that the Fire Gym was an easy target, so you move on. Somewhere in the trail, you feel...weird, as if you were not there anymore...or as if "there" wasn't there anymore.
"Hmmm...I have a bad feeling about this."
You speak loudly to yourself before dismissing the feeling entirely.
You and your rented Gogoat continue to move forward, following the trail. You can find footprints of many species...and yet you don't recognize any of them. Also, the woods seem to...shine? Despite being really late, there are enough sources of light around, allowing you to see your way quite clearly.
"Fireflies..."
You think. Well, aren't you naive?
After a good hour, the trail divides into two. Before falling to despair, you manage to hear a faint sound. A song of sorts. Well...strap me a bow and call me Snubbull, music in the woods. You decide to follow it and in no time you find...
GAAAAHHH!!!
You yell, after seeing the such an odd kid. Needless to say, your Gogoat DIDN'T fled before you could say "what the fuck". But you almost did.
"Heheh, Are you looking for someone, big guy?" - The kid asks.
"The Fire Gym Leader. Now get away from me..."
"I don't know any 'Fire Gym Leader', Tee Hee Heee! But if you want some fire, there is this guy here who has been wandering around for quite some time. He was with a strange Fox with Nine Tails and a Flaming big Pig. Maybe he is the one you are looking for? If so just follow the music." - The kid says.
After thanking the kid you follow the music, running as fast as you can for some time when suddenly...
THUD
"Ouch! That hurts! You should pay attention!"
"I should say the same."
"...wait....Auric?"
"Frosty? What are you doing here?"
"Running some errands?"
"Fair Enough. I am looking for the Fire Gym Leader...."
"Then look no more! I am Frosty, Fire Gym Leader, owner of the Bonfire Badge, at your service"
"Wait, you are the Gym Leader? I knew this was a terrible idea..."
"...dude, grow a pair. This will be fun!"
"OK then. Where is your Gym?"
"Well...here is the thing. I heard that there is some kind of abandoned temple here from where this music is supposed to come, so I thought I might as well open my gym there, since I like music and why not? But I can't seem to find it haha. So we will battle here! Just don't disturb the fairies and spirits of the woods and you will be fine trust me you won't want to disturb them. Also...erm...can we battle while running? I don't think staying put here is the best idea *gulp*"
You take a good while to check your surroundings and you notice the following aspects of the Woods:
- There is a water pond, grass source, some rocks and you can see the sky. And the sun is starting to raise and shine amid the treetops. Every move can be used here, with the sole exception of Fissure, as that will probably disturb the woods, and that would be bad. Also, you don't think you will manage to summon Hail or Sandstorm without the respective stones;
- Dense Woods means that spread moves (Surf, Hyper Voice, Lava Plume, Heat Wave, Blizzard, Rock Slide etc etc etc) won't....spread that easily. Also, the sturdy roots weaken the power of EQ, Bulldoze and Magnitude. Spread moves will have the damage dealt multiplied by 0.5 instead of just the bap by 0.75 when used in doubles+;
- No move or ability or item, with the sole exception of Fake Out, can Flinch. All pokemons are already scared enough at the Woods, they won't pay attention at trickery for the most part.
- You are in the middle of a forest, so Grassy Terrain is always up, stacking with other "terrains".
- The battle occurs in movement, as both you and the dumb gym leader are trying to escape the dangerous woods. Because of that, hazards (Sticky Web, Stealth Rock, Spikes and Toxic Spikes) have no effect and moves such as Reflect, Light Screen, Safeguard, Magic Room, Trick Room, Sunny Day, Rain Dance, Hail, Sandstorm, Water sport, Mud sport have their duration lowered by 1 round/3 actions as they won't be able to keep up with you for that long.
- Fairies are everywhere and can be summoned at will by any pokemon for assistance. Every pokemon can use the move "dazzling gleam".
- Finally, the free spirits like being...well...free, and won't let any one take that from them. Because of that the ability "Air Lock" is negated by the wicked magic that is around. Be happy that you didn't turn into a pig.
"You are quite the observer, haha. It seems that you are ready, so let's begin this. En Garde!"
Summary
- All moves, except for Fissure, can be used. Hail and Sand can't be summoned without the respective stones.
- Instead of using the 0.75 BAP multiplier, the entire damage dealt by a spread move is multiplied by 0.5. So the formula is: ((BAP [Ignore standard spread modifier] *Screens + stuff - stuff)*Weakness/Resistance+Stat Stage Differences+Type-Specific-Item)*0.5 = Damage
- No flinches (except for fake out)
- Hazards are useless and other field effects's duration is lowered by 1 round/3 actions
- Grassy Terrain is always up, stacking with others if needs be
- Every pokemon can use Dazzling Gleam.
- Air Lock has no effect.

Beat Dogfish44 and lost to deadfox081. Avnomke is canceling his challenge. I'll give waterwarrior a week to confirm that he'd like to challenge this gym, since he's been largely inactive. If he hasn't replied by then, the slot will open up for a new challenger. That leaves the Fight Gym with one remaining challenger...

Arena: Nowhere in Particular
The hot stench of the metropolis suffocates all newcomers. The streets bustle with activity: businessmen scurry, children yell, and the homeless beg. The hustle-and-bustle city is tireless; it is clockwork. Everyone lives within their own microcosm, content to keep their head down and live another day.
Rather, most are content. There are those who know how to escape. They yearn for something greater, something primal. They gather at a pub down by Main Street and 10th called The Antidote. No, they're not there for the tempting booze or the allure of getting laid. They come to fight. A man with a missing eye and ripping biceps guards the back doorway which presumably leads to the basement. He spits on the ground and address you firmly.
"Oi, where you off to?" he grumbles.
"Nowhere in Particular," you reply candidly.
The man gives a knowing nod and steps out of the way. It worked!
Down and down the concrete stairs go. They lead you into a cavernous underground room. The basement: Nowhere in Particular. Its floor is cold pavement and its brick walls are unforgiving. Metal folding chairs, wobbly card tables, and other materials litter the room. But none of that matters; what catches your eye is the middle of the room. Underneath the flickering fluorescent lights is a battle. A formidable Fighting-type Pokemon slams an unsuspecting foe into the floor with a deafening thud. Its trainer sticks a fist pump of pride into the cool air, as the basement reverberates back to silence.
"Nice fight," calls a blond-haired figure with green pants, sitting backwards in a chair. "But I believe our training is over... We have a visitor."
They both turn towards you. A lithe young woman with short pink hair grunts and stamps her foot into the ground. "LET'S DO THIS."
The blond makes a motion to stop her. "Easy there, Maylene." He approaches you and offers a firm handshake. "Hi there, I'm Birkal!" he says, brimming with enthusiasm. "Welcome to Nowhere in Particular. Or more formally, welcome to Fight Gym. Let me give you a quick rundown on the rules here."
"Number One: The entire gym fight is played as a series of one versus one matches. It is a best of series, meaning that whoever wins the majority of the rounds wins the match. One a Pokemon has fought its round, it remains benched for the rest of the series. The arena is cleared anew after every match; hazards and field effects disappear."
"Number Two: The Gym Leader sends out the first Pokemon of the match. From there, the loser of each round sends out first in the following matches."
"Number Three: Both Challenger and Gym Leader may only bring one of each typing. For example, Avalugg would take up the Challenger's Ice-type slot. Similarly, Noivern would take up the Challenger's Flying-type and Dragon-type slots for the series. Fighting-type is exempt from this rule for the Gym Leader alone. However, the Gym Leader cannot bring two of the same typed Pokemon outside of Fighting-types (e.g. Gallade and Medicham cannot both be brought).
"Think you can handle all that?" Birkal asks with a smile. "Let me know if you have any questions."
"UGH, SHUT UP," Maylene shouts angrily. A small crowd emerges from the shadows; their interest is piqued. "ENOUGH CHAT. LET'S GET THIS FIGHT STARTED."
Summarized:
1) Best of Series (1 vs. 1).
2) Gym Leader sends out first match; loser sends out first afterwards.
3) Can only bring one of any single type to the fight.

Just an announcement that I certainly do plan on continuing these gym matches, and I'll send in my mons in about a week if you guys don't mind. Especially sorry to tavok and copycatcat for making you guys wait more than a month, but just hang in there for a little more <3
